June 14 @ 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM PDT

Maybe you have heard about the Lightning Network and how it can offer instant, trustless, off-blockchain Bitcoin payments. Maybe you have even read the whitepaper or articles on how it works abstractly.

In this talk, they’ll dive into the technical details of the peer-to-peer protocol that is live in beta today, the BOLT protocol. They’ll cover how nodes connect to each other, form a network of payment channels, and send payments to each other across this network. It is assumed you already know how the Bitcoin blockchain works.
